Ter senyum lah



Al-A'masy berkata,"Tadi Saya duduk di dalam rumah, lalu anak wanita Saya terus memperhatikan wajah Saya. Ketika Saya tanya mengapa Ia memperhatikan wajah Saya, Ia menjawab,'Apa ayah tidak heran, bagaimana Ibu mau menjadi istri Ayah?'"


Lucky you, Dude. :-)

Mengungkap Rahasia Kecerdasan Orang Yahudi



Walaupun populasinya hanya 0,25% dari populasi dunia, tetapi orang Yahudi seakan menguasai dunia, Albert Einstein, Alan Greenspan, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, George Soros, Steven Spielberg, Rupert Murdoch. Mengapa?

"Hal itu bisa dipersamakan dengan orang-orang yang menderita cacat. Ketika indra seseorang terluka, maka tubuh akan mencari kompensasi dari indra lainnya. Misalnya orang buta, indra pendengaran mereka pada umumnya jauh lebih hebat dari pada orang melek pada umumnya. Karena orang Yahudi organ seksualnya sedikit rusak, maka kompensasinya adalah otak mereka. (Menurut Jerome-Halaman 47)"


Tentu saja bukan hal itu alasan utamanya, :-)
Tapi buku ini memang sanagt mencerahkan sekali untuk bagaimana meyakinkan diri bahwa setiap kita, memiliki otak yang sangat luar biasa.

Mendesain Logo



"A logo is the point of entry to the brand", Milton Glaser.


Buku yang sangat menarik buat Saya saat ini, saat sedang menyiapkan konsep logo untuk beberapa proyek saya, entah itu Yayasan atau proyek Komersial.

Buku ini bercerita tentang bagaimana sebuah logo itu muncul dan bagaimana filosofi dalam membuat sebuah logo, BUKAN cara membuat logo dengan . Dan ya, Saya sepakat sama Sang Penulis, "Membuat logo bukanlah perkara gampang".

Saya cukup sadar diri terhadap kemampuan saya di bidang desain, mangkanya beberapa proyek desain Saya serahkan kepada orang-orang dari dunia desain. Tapi, tetap saja, masih belum sreg dengan hasil kerjaan mereka. The do design, but do not thinking.

Tipping Point



Beyond that, I think that The Tipping Point is a way of making sense of the world, because I'm not sure that the world always makes as much sense to us as we would hope.


That's what Gladwell said about his tipping point.

I read this book just two days back (yes, you can call me so late), after I read Outlier and Blink. Maybe because I've read many theory like this before reading this book, I am not quite impressed with what he talks here, not like what I feel about Outlier.

This is the greatest (and the only) thing that I got from this book. The story is to plain and predictable. The only reason why I bought this novel is because I am Minangnese, and there where the story begin.

Another review, here.

Catatan Kecil tentang Dia



I was hoping a very dramatical moment when I start to read this book. Rewind all of the memory in my head. But, i found nothing here. The story is too pain. Trying to read until page 60 but feels like no hope. So I stop reading, close the book and put it back, laying on my bed and lets my mind fly to air, draw back all of my memory with my teacher, since I was in elementary school until senior high school.

The Big Idea



The first thing that buzzing from my mouth after i read this book is "Damn, I have to make my first million soon".

This book spreads me with a million idea. Flipfold and Spanx are my favorite. Check it. :-)


The only thing that disturbing me is Donny doesn't talk about "the failure phase" that his guests in his "The Big Idea" show in CNBC. But, if he talked about it, I guess the page number will increase 10th times, right?
